Cricket Hill

Cricket Hill occupies low coastal ground on Gwynn’s Island, off Virginia’s Middle Peninsula between the Piankatank River and Chesapeake Bay. This thinly settled part of Mathews County is shaped by tidal creeks, marshes and channels, with boating and fishing central to its connection with the water. Gwynn’s Island entered American Revolutionary history in 1776, when Lord Dunmore, Virginia’s last royal governor, used it as a base. The area remains firmly linked to the Chesapeake’s working-waterfront traditions rather than urban development.
